When I finished explaining the plan to the chief, I began to hear footsteps in the forest. [M]
Perfect timing.
I sent my gaze to the chief with greetings.
The chief rose up slowly with the support of a great sword.
I can tell from the expression of anguish that my whole body is hurting.
I reviewed the chief who rose with total mobilization. [M]
Is this the chief's pride?
"Wow, chief. I don't think there are many people who can move in that state."
Hmm.
First Princess Clarisse showed up.
Seeing the chief covered in wounds, the princess seemed to have perceived something.
The dragon men who followed noticed the wounded chief and were stunned.
"......! Chief!? What the hell happened?!?
"Who hurt you like this?
"Yeah, shut up. Don't panic, it's nothing serious."
I can't believe I can swallow that word.
The dragonmen looked back at me in haste, knowing that they could not find out the details from the chief.
"Hey kid, what happened to the chief!?
"Who attacked you!?
Um, I don't know either.
It is helpful to say that you are a child at times like these.
Because even if you empty it with a completely illogical statement, it will work.
"Better than that, you're going back to your team."
"Eh? Are you on the team...?
"I'm taking them with me. Put the wounded on the horses."
"Yeah!?
The dragonmen publicly voiced their dissatisfaction, but when the chief glanced at him, he grew old and followed his instructions.
◇ ◇ ◇
In an hour.
We have arrived at the garrison where the dragon's vanguard is waiting.
We got caught in the line of sight.
It's a human being.
"Why are humans on our team?
"What the hell is the sheik thinking?
"Some people are fainting. Only women and children walk on their own."
Aren't you a prisoner?
This garrison, built in the woods, has a number of tents.
We were guided by the biggest one installed in the middle.
There was a large desk inside the tabernacle, and a map of the neighborhood was spread out.
Separate commas make it easier to speculate on elaborate strategies.
Well, you used to get us into this formation.
Should I accept this as proof of trust from the chief?
Of course, the dragonmen are quite upset because I'm surprised. [M]
But the chief gave life without saying anything before they asked.
"Gather them all now!
Everyone has a lot of faces to ask, but it's not an irreversible situation.
The Dragon soldiers began to move quickly and silently.
It took less than a minute for the troops to line up.
Leadership is perfect.
I know you won't fight.
This army is strong.
"Dear Eddie... Everyone is big, so it's very powerful...."
"Yeah, it's just a war. - Yes, Princess. Thank you for the guards."
The princess stays close to me and vigilant. [M]
I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to explain the situation properly.
Even so, I didn't expect you to follow me to the Dragon garrison with just one word I said, "It's okay."
"Because I believe in Eddie," I thought once again, "I can't betray the trust of a smiling princess."
I will protect the princess and the guards.
I didn't want to be involved in any trouble with responsibility, but I can't say that just now.
Incidentally, the guards are awake and holding back to protect the princess while looking confused.
Although the princess disagreed with "Eddie's accomplishments," he asked me to do the same thing when I was chief, and I managed to get her to accept it.
The princess talked to the chief and got back together! A princess is amazing!
Together I was so noisy that the guards convinced me. [M]
Still, that's the power of it.
I wonder if there are elite troops in the front row.
Including the dragon people we first encountered, there were about twenty of them.
The difference in the colour of the armor and the size of the weapon in hand indicates the difference in rank from the general soldier.
When the soldiers were all there, the chief said the most.
Fighting the werewolves is over.
The moment it was proclaimed, the whole unit was scrambled.
This is the first thing I asked the chief to do.
Declare the cessation of the war in front of the soldiers.
Of course, we didn't just want to do what the human side wanted, so we didn't ask for it.
"Your word, chief."
The first one to open his mouth was the Long Dragon Man, whose chief said he was close.
"Without a word of consultation with me, who is close to such a decision....."
"I don't have to talk to anybody. When I said to stop using it, it was stopped. There's no reason to fight in the first place."
"Hmm...!?
The elite open their eyes.
"Isn't it you who inspired me to crush my long-standing enemy, the man and the wolf? You didn't come here to scare me?
"Chieftain, it's not like you!
"It's an opportunity to get gunpowder and wipe out the werewolves!
One after the other, the elite and the people I think are dissatisfied.
The soldiers swallowed their spits and watched the interaction.
After hearing all the objections raised, the chief opened his mouth again.
"I have something to tell you about the gunpowder. Everything wanted gunpowder, and it was implicitly magical."
"What...?!?
"As a result, I lost my reason and started a war to get gunpowder. Apparently, those who used allusive magic wanted to start a war between the Dragons and the werewolves."
The princesses and guards, who had not heard anything, were watching things happen in a nervous manner while losing their words.
"Who the hell would do that!
"I can't forgive you, our chief....!
Elite troops bark at the momentum of biting.
The chief continued his words.
"Of course, vampires are the ones who implied me."
Without putting it in your hair, you raise your voice.
I see! Vampires...!
"Surely they won't benefit if we fight the werewolves!
"To spot it immediately is the chief!
"We were danced by their plan! The chieftain has put his hand on me....."
The chief snorted.
"I see you don't have to fight. If so, retreat."
"But the chief! What about gunpowder!? And there's a team of werewolves. Wouldn't it be a dragon tribe ticket to back off now!?
A tall man speaks for the elite.
The people around him nod as if they had the same idea.
In contrast, the average soldier remains on his feet.
I wonder if it is enough to listen to the flying opinions and understand the situation.
The chief put his arms together and slowly looked around the entire unit.
"Is it related to the sale ticket? Do you still want to keep fighting like this?"
"Of course! We can't lose as long as you're here!
"When we get here, we'll defeat the werewolves and destroy the vampires with that momentum! Hey, guys!
The elite look back and call out to the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at each other confused, and then began to raise their voices late, saying otherwise.
"Kill the wolf...! Crush the vampires!
"Crush it! Crush it!
Like an epidemic, the excitement to go to war spreads.
The roar of the barking soldiers treading their feet shakes the ground.
I don't know how many soldiers there are who think with their own heads and conclude that we should fight.
We are now witnessing collective psychology and the horrors of contagious malice.
At that time, the chief drank the soldiers as if they were unbearable.
"Shut up, you idiots!!
The exalted soldiers stopped moving perfectly.
Silence suddenly visited.
"That's it. In an hour, we'll be ready to evacuate."
A sigh that seeped into the resentment that was happening again.
But the chief went back into the tent with a deaf attitude.
We humans were guided to the waiting tent at the behest of our chief.
"Princess, it's not dangerous to stay here any longer..."
"I can't go back without seeing the dragonmen retreat. I don't think it's safe, but if the dragonmen are going to kill us, they won't be able to escape no matter how they scratch us."
"Well, that's...."
I sneaked out of the tent after the princesses started talking. [M]
Of course, it was headed to the tent with the chief.
Thanks to the chief's arrangement, I went in without being blamed.
The sentry certainly looked suspicious, but he didn't seem alert because he was a child.
I feel like I learned a lot about the convenience of being a child today.
The chief kept his weapon in order, paying the bills properly.
"This is the best way to be careful."
You say that without looking back.
I stood next to the chief and peeked into the polished sword. [M]
The chief told me that it would take less than an hour to get from here to where the army's main unit is waiting.
It is almost impossible to overturn the situation by rendezvous with the main body and declaring a cessation of the war.
No matter how many chiefs, there is no way to change opinions in front of nearly 3,000 troops, such as "stop fighting" and "still fight".
Even the 200 troops in this garrison would not have wanted a declaration of cessation of hostilities.
That's why the man who summoned me without any consultation was so pale.
If the killer moves, this is our only chance.
While thinking so, waiting for a while, the opponent was caught in a trap as expected.
"Chieftain, are you sure?
A voice was heard from outside the tent.
I saw that I had lurked behind the barrel, and the chief said, "Come in."
"Excuse me."
They came from the elite side of the force, including the long side.
"As the chief said earlier, we felt we were wise."
Hmm.
"It is time for us to abandon our long-standing ties with the werewolves."
While communicating his opinions as a representative, his close associates approached the chief.
"We support the chief. I was surprised when I first heard that."
I see.
The chief does not raise his face while keeping his weapon under control.
Everything went as planned.
"Our future is bright"
"Of course. I can count on my close associates and elite troops."
"Yeah, you're right."
A close friend reaches out to the chief.
"But what's the matter? This wound..."
"Nothing. It's a scratch."
"I don't think it's a scratch. Please wait while I recover."
Light begins to seep like covering your proximal hand.
The light was shaped like a bracelet around the wrist, and then gathered around the fingertips.
The moment the light was about to be emitted...
"Guh!?
The chief, looking back vigorously, grabbed the hand of his closest companion with an unspeakable force.
"It's still unacceptable for me to see you betray me..."
The chief's eyes seeped with quiet and deep anger because he wanted to believe in his people.
Come on, chief.
It will be painful, but I can't move forward unless you convince me.
Reject the killer.
"It's not vampires that hinted at me. You were committed by the elite."
The clan chief grabbed the hand of the neighbor, and there was the same implied magic pattern that the clan chief was wearing.
